Oil change frequency?

Oil change frequency?
I have a new 07 G coupe. I have 2200 miles on it.
The service/owner's manual says to change the oil at 3750 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first.
I'm at 3 months this week.
I've owned many cars where I changed the oil at no more than 5000 miles and have had no problems. Assuming my car has Syntec in it, as the dealer states, changing the oil at 2200 miles seems like overkill. I know oil is cheap compared to the car and it's important.
I emailed the service manager and he said ignore the months and change the oil by 3750 miles. I was suprised by that.
